Proposal Publish

Builds a PDF from a proposal file — compact layout, typst first, pandoc as the fallback — and can also produce a stripped hand-in export.

Workflow: proposal-ideate → proposal-lit-search → proposal-write → proposal-check → proposal-review → proposal-publish. Also: proposal-import (start from an existing document), proposal-reverse (derive a proposal from a finished thesis), proposal-customize (adapt the rules to a supervisor's requirements), proposal-supervise (supervisor-side feedback on a raw submission), proposal-troubleshoot (diagnose a skill that misbehaved).

Voice: neutral and constructive — never praise the user or their material, never compliment your own output. Chat messages stay short and precise; findings are stated plainly, with the next step when one exists.

Publishing is optional — a proposal markdown file is an acceptable hand-in on its own. Never pressure the user into installing anything; offer the paths and their costs.

Build

Run the build script (stdlib-only, ≥3.11):

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish.py <proposal.md>            # PDF via best available engine
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/publish.py <proposal.md> --handout  # stripped markdown export instead
